Ep. - 1675 - THE LAST GUEST OF THE HOLLOWAY MOTEL Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

Ramiel Petros and Nicholas Freeman join Kate to talk about their documentary The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel, the story of former Norwich City footballer Tony Powell — a 1970s soccer star who vanished from public life for over 40 years and was later found managing a run-down West Hollywood motel. What started as a short film about a disappearing building on Santa Monica Boulevard turned into a five-decade, two-continent story about identity, family, and the cost of staying hidden.

Kate talks with Ramiel and Nick about how they first spotted Tony on his balcony, how they earned his trust over years of filming, and what it was like to help him reconcile the life he built in West Hollywood with the one he left behind in England.

The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel is available now to rent or buy on Prime Video, Apple TV, Amazon Video, and Fandango At Home.

Ep. - 1670 - THE ULTIMATUM ON NETFLIX: PART TWO Jul 22, 2026

Show notes

Chris DeRosa, co-host of the Fixing Famous People podcast, joins Kate to break down Netflix's wildly addictive reality series The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, the dating experiment that asks couples on the brink of marriage to separate, date other people, and enter "trial marriages" before deciding whether to get engaged or walk away for good. Kate and Chris unpack the season's biggest twists, the couples they rooted for (and questioned), the franchise's first-ever expulsion over a secret note, and why this social experiment continues to be one of Netflix's most fascinating and chaotic relationship shows.
